WAREHAM,
Jessie (née
BORDEN)
Died peacefully at her home near Priceville, Ontario, surrounded
by her family on Monday, July 2, 2007 after a courageous and
graceful struggle with cancer, which defeated her body but never
her spirit or sense of humour. Born in Toronto on October 12,
1936, Jessie is survived by loving husband and best friend, Tom
WAREHAM, daughters Mardi and Jacquie, son Michael and wife
April,
and son Joe and wife Alison. Sadly missed by grandchildren Amber,
Courtney, Rebecca, Callum and Maggie. Dear daughter of Millie
BORDEN and the late Michael
BORDEN and beloved sister of Dorothy
DACYSHYN.
Jessie graduated from the University of Western Ontario
in London as a journalism major and was a lifelong member of
Gamma Phi Beta sorority. A resident of Cambridge (Galt) for many
years, she was editor of the Lifestyle section of the Cambridge
Reporter daily newspaper and was a driving force in the creation
of the Cambridge Volunteer Bureau. She was also president of
the Cambridge Chapter of the University Women's Club. A lifelong
interest in dolls and handicrafts led her to start a home business,
Rainbows Fabrics. She and Tom enjoyed traveling all over Ontario
to craft shows and gave much joy to their customers and fellow
vendors. Jessie also loved to cook for Friends and family, and
her annual gifts of Christmas cookies were coveted by all who
were lucky enough to receive them. She touched many lives with
her kind words and generosity, and even in her final days continued
to give all she could to her family. We will miss her. The family
would like to thank the oncology unit nurses staff at Owen Sound
Hospital, Doctor
RICE and Doctor
QAVI, social worker Krista
McCORKINDALE,
the nurses and doctors and staff at Durham Hospital, Community
CareAccessCentre, Victorian Order of Nurses nurse Elayne
McCANN,
family doctor Mary
PILLISCH, our anchor in the storm, and Debbie
and Helen of the Durham Clinic. The family deeply appreciates
the courage and resilience of Jacquie
WAREHAM, the main caregiver
and guiding light. Every family member was integral to the outstanding
care Jessie received. Also, the family is deeply grateful to
Jessie and Tom's Friends and relatives for their love and compassion
during this time. A private service for immediate family will
be held at McCulloch-Watson Funeral Home in Durham. A celebration
of life for extended family and Friends will be held in Cambridge
later this fall. Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian
Cancer Society, Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity
of your choice.
